Self-sizing sun visor

Abstract

The self-sizing sun visor fills the need for a visor that automatically adjusts to the wearer's head without causing undo compressive pressure on the wearer's head. The desired level of comfort and easy of use to the wearer is achieved by constructing the headband at least partially from stretchable material and incorporating a sweat absorbing foam inner layer. A bill of essentially a rigid nature is attached to the forward portion of the lower peripheral edge. The headband can also be constructed from two or more headband segments. A headband segment is a different color or the same color as the other headband segments. The visor comes in a small/medium size and a large/extra large size to accommodate a range of head sizes comfortably.
